Late-night hosts took aim at Donald Trump’s latest set of tweets after he claimed that the Hurricane Maria death toll was fabricated by the Democrats.

On Late Night with Seth Meyers, the host criticised the president for “another insane conspiracy theory”. Trump tweeted that the reported number of about 3,000 was inaccurate and had been pushed by opponents just to make him look bad.

On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert also chose to discuss Trump’s hurricane assertion after talking about the impending Hurricane Florence.

“It’s really hard to imagine anything more horrible than that apart from this tweet,” he said.

Colbert then talked about how the death toll hadn’t received the press it deserved. “It had been pushed out of the front pages because of all the other bad news about Trump,” he said.

He moved on to talk about rumours that Trump is set to fire Jeff Sessions, a “Cabbage Patch American”.

He continued: “Trump has had major problems with the Department of Justice, mainly the justice part.”

A story this week also revealed how Trump originally wanted to remove braille from the elevator panels in Trump Tower. “You’d think Trump would love braille. It’s like reading through groping,” he said.
